01/24/2024

The launch of sports wagering in North Carolina now has a date and operators can start registering players before that date.

At a meeting Wednesday, the North Carolina State Lottery Commission set Monday, March 11, as the day that legal sports wagering can begin in North Carolina. The date is part of a Sports Wagering Authorization approved by the Commission.

Under that Sports Wagering Authorization, licensed interactive sports wagering operators who hold Certificates of Compliance in North Carolina can begin registering players, creating interactive accounts and accepting deposits at noon on Friday, March 1. No sports bets will be lawful in North Carolina until noon on Monday, March 11.
